Book Review ~ Rite of Revelation (Acceptance #2) by Sarah Negovetich

Rite of Revelation

(Acceptance #2)

by Sarah Negovetich

Publication Date: December 4, 2015

The
Cardinal plans to execute seventeen-year-old Rebecca Collins, just as soon as
he gets what he needs to solidify his rule over the United Territories. Faced
with certain death, Rebecca discovers not everyone is under the Cardinal's
control. A new alliance helps Rebecca and her friends escape the PIT, giving
Rebecca a chance to live the life her Rejection took away.

But
the Cardinal needs her in order to stay in power, and he doesn't care who has
to die to bring her back to justice.

Her
last fight was a push to survive. This time, Rebecca has a life that might be
worth dying for.

Last year, I had the pleasure of reading Rite
of Rejection and finding a new author to add to my ever growing list of
favorites. But after devouring the
story, I had questions in the end and needed to know more – more about what happened
after the speech – more about Rebecca,
Daniel and Eric - just MORE. Thankfully,
Ms. Negovetich heard the pleas of her readers and has given us Rite of Revelation, and for this reader,
I am ecstatic beyond words!

So, was Rite of
Revelation everything I wanted it to be?
Why, yes…yes it was, plus so much more! In Rite of Rejection, the story left off with Rebecca giving her
speech across the hacked airwaves, and even though it left me with a feeling of
hope for the people, there really was no closure. I mean, did they escape? Did life get better? Did the Cardinal finally get what he had
coming? In this second installment of the Acceptance
series, the author took the story to heights I didn't see coming and I
loved it! This is a story of hope, love,
the desire to belong and the desire to change the seemingly impossible. It is also a story of believing in yourself
and doing what you feel is right despite what others might feel is wrong. Most importantly of all, this is a story of the
desire for something better, and along the way finding out that it was right in
front of you staring you in the face.

From the start, the story grabbed my attention and held
it until the very last page. I loved all
the characters, and really enjoyed witnessing their growth as they dealt with
everything life was dishing out. I
became completely immersed in the world that the author has created and at
times found myself holding my breath because things grew intense at times. The writing flows almost effortlessly and the
story line is one that is easy to believe. My only disappointment is now I have
to wait for the next book to be released.

If you are looking for a great read that is uniquely
different and impossible to put down, then this series is one you will definitely
need to check out especially if you like Young Adult Dsytopian fiction.

“Freedom isn’t found in a
place; it’s how you choose to live your life every day and the people who fill
that life with you.”

5 stars

Sarah
Negovetich knows you don't know how to pronounce her name and she's okay with
that.

Her
first love is Young Adult novels, because at seventeen the world is your
oyster. Only oysters are slimy and more than a little salty; it's accurate if
not exactly motivational. We should come up with a better cliché.

Sarah
divides her time between writing YA books that her husband won’t read and
working with amazing authors as an agent at Corvisiero Literary Agency. Her
life’s goal is to be only a mildly embarrassing mom when her kids hit their
teens.
